@ Lall: Some of these syrups can be found in most grocers or specialty grocer (e.g. the Depaz Cane Syrup). Others are easier to hunt down online (gomme syrup can be tricky to find). Then there are syrups like Chris Bostick's cucumber demerara syrup, which you'd pretty much have to make on your own. Two online sources of syrups I can heartily recommend are Trader Tiki and Small Hand Foods

Hey Matt,

Where’s the best place to pick up the syrups?

Would any grocery store have them and is there a specific kind of I should look for?

Thanks,

chuck’s recipe has got to be the most complicated punch recipe ever, with all those crazy ingredients. I wish I were there to try them! next time

OK Chuck, it’s all corrected. However I’m afraid I can’t let you ever enter a contest ever again now that you’ve made me do actual work.

Oh, and the name was changed too, to Ponche Relajante (”Relaxing Punch”). Yeah, I know, I’m a pain.

Thanks for everything, Matt! What a blast that was.

One thing … I had to tweak the recipe on the fly at the venue for balance. Can you edit the recipe above to add 16 ounces of water? It still tastes good as is, but it’s a bit … strong.

Cheers to a great event, Matt! Crossing fingers for this to be an annual tradition.
